PG Tips

One of my favorite teas of all time. Yes, I know it’s bagged, but I love it. It’s my easy go-to tea. So tasty and so great with a dash of milk!

A really good bagged black tea, probably the best of the supermarket teas. Doesn’t get bitter. I know women who make a pot of this, drink some while it’s hot, leave the bags in and then microwave subsequent servings — and it’s still decent. Not too much Assam, so other flavours play out. Not fancy, but not to be despised, either.

This is a good strong, basic black tea. However, the caffeine is just too much for me to handle on a regular basis. (I prefer decaf.)

I love this tea. However, I only like plain, black teas & I prefer decaf.

PG Tips is among the best plain, black tea sachet (“bag”) you can buy. Only, I find that because of the large amount of tea per serving, and the quality, is ridicously easy to over steep and make it bitter. When I brew it in a pot, I usually put 1 bag per 1.5 mugs, or 2.25 tea cups. I love a good PG Tips, but a bad cup is just nasty.

Excellent with sugar and milk. If you like this, you need to try their even better PG Tips Special Blend. OMG, amazing but so hard to find.

The scent and flavor has gone. I had to throw this one away. I didn’t reach for it often enough since it is too bitter and the flavors didn’t go well with my spices. SIGH I have never thrown tea away before :(

Backlogging. Had this for breakfast with peppermint.

Must… finish… this… tea! I made chai today using this. yum! I like to use a little bit of tea.

Boiled ginger and PG tips together. Somehow, the ginger alleviates the bitterness of the tea. I added some sugar too :)

This morning I decided to make tea the way my boyfriend grew up drinking tea. I cut up some Ginger and let it boil for a while before adding PG tips and sugar. Delicious! I should do this more often. :)
